Your label definition must sit inside the class. So:
LAYER
...
CLASS
.....
LABEL
...
END #end label
END #end class
END #end layer

Subject: Re: [UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] ROAD, STREET, BUILDING NAMES
DOES'NT APPEAR.
Hi All,
Thanks for your information. Based on your comments, I've added
label section, the fonts and font list for FONTSET.
I don't know what should I put for LABELITEM. I put "Text", as
seen in the dump out of OGRFeatures. (sorry, I am really novice in the
terms to use). I've tried amending the various parameters but still
don't see the labels coming out.
Would you please pinpoint me what else I should change in the
map file? Thanks.
My MapFile below:

Jack,
I *think* the most common reason autostyling text from
OGR fails in
mapserver is forgetting to map the "default" font in
your fontlist.txt file.
This is the font name used when the LABEL tool does not
include
an explicit font name, as in this case.
Hopefully this will help.
Best regards,
